I'm putting weight on :(

Cut out all sodium except for what is naturally occurring in unprocessed foods and see what happens!!

how long have you been walking? i bought a treadmill recently and its slightly on an incline so where i would usually walk for 40 mins i start to struggle after 10 at a brisk pace. I thought i was getting bigger and my clothes felt a little tight but its just muscle building up, my boyfriend said it looks like iv lost 2 inches from my legs since iv used my treadmill and i dont use it that often.

Keep your calories no lower than 1200 and with your walking you will see the difference, and it will stick. But im sure someone will notice and point it out to you before you see any difference. good luck

If u'r putting weight on it means u'r consuming more calories than u'r burning, simple as that.
So either cut down or get a move on!

Actually, that's if she's putting FAT on. It hasn't been determined yet if it's fat or just one of the many things that cause weight fluctuations in all of us. If you're eating a bag of chips a day, your sodium is likely high. Try to get it lower and if it's that, then you'll lose the water weight that you're storing. Do you find that your muscles hurt after a workout? If so, then it could be water that your muscles are holding on to to relieve some of the pain (I don't understand the process, but I know if I work muscles I'm not used to working and they're sore for a couple of days, my weight increases slightly). Is it near your TOM? That causes weight fluctuations too. As does not drinking enough water. Try those things at your current calorie consumption and see if it clears up. If not, then you might be overestimating your calorie burn on your machines (although I doubt it would be enough to cause weight gain that quickly).

I am really staggered that a relatively lean and young woman like yourself (you're 26?) is not fit enough to do more than 10 mins walking??

I think this has to be a serious reality check for you. You clearly need to work out more.

I agree! I'm pushing 40 and started at 202 lbs at 5ft 2in!!! If I can do it, YOU can do it. Stop saying you can't and start saying you can!! Because, YOU CAN!!!! How bad do you want to change? maybe not bad enough? Set a goal..... and then go get it!!!!

I have had my treadmill for about two weeks, i normally go out walking with the dog and the boyfriend but i wanted the treadmill to start jogging and i just can not do it. I struggle even just walking...i am so unhealthy.

Does help when you have big boobs giving you black eyes either. total nightmare when I run.

I advise a sports bra! also it doesnt mean your unhealty, it just means you need to build up your stamina. iv only had mine less than a month and i cant run outside, mainy because of being self concious but i started doing brisk walking then running when the adverts were on the tele. at first i couldnt even make it through one advert but you build it up gradually. Now i just brisk walk and can go up to 40 mins if i have some good music in my ear to listen to. Just keep going!

Invest in a good sports bra. I am a G cup and a sports bra is a must for pretty much all exercise. My fave for jogging is Freya underwired. It starts at a D cup and goes up to H. No movement and has not losened with wear. Not very pretty bra but does the job.

I also like Max Sports Bra. It goes from D to HH and looks good. The bra has become looser with time however still a good fit. No longer my running bra though.

Well I say try a little bit everyday to see what your body can handle...add an extra minute a day untill you reach 15 mins. Listen to some music while you walk so you will not focus on the time you have been walking or look at a magazine. That is what I do. Then you will know you can handle more..slowly but surely. You can do anything you put your mind too just believe in yourself. Take care and good luck!
